Individual support for navigating family, friendships, and romantic dynamics.

Whether it’s navigating family dynamics, deepening friendships, or finding clarity in romantic relationships—how we show up in connection with others often traces back to our early attachment experiences. In my work with individual clients, we explore the patterns and protective strategies developed from these early bonds and how they show up in your present relationships. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck in cycles—longing for closeness, yet fearing vulnerability; overextending in relationships, yet feeling unseen or depleted. Together, we untangle these patterns so you can show up in your relationships more securely, authentically, and with boundaries that honor you.

Understanding the Impact of Attachment Styles

Heal Anxious, Avoidant, Disorganized, or Insecure Attachment Patterns

Attachment styles often form in childhood as responses to our caregivers and environments. The four main attachment styles—secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized—reflect the ways we’ve learned to seek closeness, manage conflict, and protect ourselves from emotional pain.

A secure attachment tends to offer a balanced sense of safety and autonomy in relationships. An anxious attachment often brings a fear of abandonment and a tendency to over-function or seek reassurance. An avoidant style might look like emotional distancing, a fear of dependence, or discomfort with vulnerability. A disorganized attachment, often rooted in unresolved trauma, can involve a push-pull dynamic of craving intimacy while also fearing it.

These styles aren’t fixed—they’re adaptations, and with insight and compassionate work, they can shift.

How Attachment Styles Form and Show Up Today

Learn the Root Causes of Attachment Issues in Relationships

Your attachment style is often shaped by the early emotional environment you grew up in—whether you felt seen, soothed, and safe, or whether you had to adapt to unpredictability, absence, or inconsistency.

These early patterns don’t just fade; they live on in our nervous systems and in the way we relate. Maybe you’re constantly on edge in relationships, waiting for the other shoe to drop. Maybe you avoid closeness, afraid that it will mean losing yourself.

Or maybe you feel like you’re swinging between extremes—craving love but not trusting it. In therapy, we make sense of these patterns together, with compassion and curiosity rather than blame.

Parts Work and Trauma Processing for Attachment Healing

Using EMDR, ART, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to Transform Relationship Patterns

In our work together, we use parts work (inspired by Internal Family Systems) to better understand the inner voices that show up in your relationships—perhaps a protective part that keeps people at a distance, a striving part that fears being "too much," or a wounded part that aches for love but doesn’t trust it.

By getting to know these parts and the roles they’ve taken on, we create space for self-leadership, compassion, and healing. We may also incorporate trauma-informed approaches like EMDR or ART to process unresolved relational wounds and release the stuck energy tied to past experiences.

Healing your attachment style is not about becoming someone else—it’s about coming home to yourself, so you can build relationships rooted in emotional safety, mutual care, and true connection.
